Comment (by GaryJ):

 Does the focus on the "Copy Link" actually copy it to clipboard?

 I wonder how many folks will try clicking the label "Copy Link", thinking
 it is a verb, rather than a noun? Maybe "Copyable Link" would remove the
 ambiguity?

 Further, in terms of linguistic accuracy, a "link" is generally accepted
 to be an HTML anchor. It has attributes that hold a "URL", maybe a "class"
 or two, and even a relationship via "rel". The feature here is for copying
 the URL of the item, not a bit of markup, so "Copyable URL" would seem
 more correct.

 Lastly, the URL is there for user's info - whether they copy it or not.
 All the other field labels identify what the input value is, not what can
 be done with it (they can all be selected and copied). So "Source URL"
 would seem more accurate.
